CICC TOKYO DAYORI vol.74

Supercomputer “FUGAKU” got the Quattro crowns (Top500, HPCG, HPL-Al,
Graph500)
as the Highest-Performance Processing capacity of the computer in the
world 2020.

I cannot forget, there was a man who was called “The genius of
computer” in Fujitsu.  History of Computer in Japan was started from
him I believe. His name is Mr.Toshio Ikeda. 75 Years ago, Japan was
defeated in World War II. After the war, Japan succeeded in sharp
reconstruction from the damage by the war. He was not only a brilliant
engineer but also a great motivator, an educator, a philosopher, an
artist and a great communicator.
My favorite two impressive words of Mr.Toshio Ikeda:
“All development starts with an emotion from bottom of heart
dynamically. If you are
impressed by something, be devoted earnestly”
“There is no word “impossible” for every challenger”

He worked harder than anyone and he staked his life on the development
of the computer.
In 1974, He died at 51 years old.

I believe that spirit of Mr. Ikeda is still being continued to computer
engineers even now.
